Community Partners

Stepping Stone Support and the Foundation For Women’s Cancer have partnered to fund research and provide education/information to women who have been diagnosed with a gynecologic cancer and to increase public awareness of gynecologic prevention and early detection. The education mission is a dual mission in that programs are developed for women who have been diagnosed as well as for well women, who will benefit from awareness of early detection and risk factor information. Since 2011, Stepping Stone Support’s Teal Warriors raise funds to participate in the annual Race in Washington, DC while supporting the efforts of the FWC to end women’s cancer through research.
